When my primary care doctor suggested, during my annual physical, that I see a dietitian I was not the least bit interested.  I have been overweight all of my adult life, and in my mid-forties with two small children I was sure that dieting was low on my list of priorities.  Luckily, my doctor insisted that I give it a try, and based on her endorsement of Belinda I made an initial appointment.  At my next annual physical I was 39 pounds lighter!

 

Working with Belinda has been a wonderful experience for me.  She has never made me feel guilty or embarrassed about my weight, my choices or my reluctance to change certain behaviors.  Instead she has consistently worked with me to explore new ways of approaching my eating habits.  Belinda’s style creates an environment where I am comfortable talking to her, about both my successes and challenges without feeling judged or criticized.  Instead of simply lecturing, she listens and understands before offering guidance and direction.  I look forward to our visits and to continuing to lose weight and feel healthier without having to be miserable!
